		<title>Ubuntuzilla thunderbird 3.1 problem fixed</title>

		<title>Xdebug restored on Lucid for Netbeans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I upgraded from Netbeans 6.7 to 6.8 I lost the ability to debug line by line. Later, I upgraded to 6.9 in the hope that this would fix it. It didn&#8217;t but the Netbeans error message for xdebug gave me a better steer towards useful resources. My system is Ubuntu Lucid (10.04) so I [...]]]></description>

		<title>ACTA and FTA unrelated &#8211; Yeah Right</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement) and Free Trade Agreement negotiations are apparently not linked (ACTA not linked to free-trade agreement, say officials). We should be highly sceptical of this claim and pay very close attention to the precise words used by the officials making this denial. Remember how Clinton did not have &#8220;sex&#8221; &#8220;with&#8221; &#8220;that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Software patents are a proven bad idea</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Software patents are a proven bad idea. Yes, you read that correctly &#8211; a &#8220;proven&#8221; bad idea. There is no need to speculate or philosophise. A brief look at history will suffice. The software industry experienced decades of innovation before software patents existed and we have had decades to observe their impact since they were [...]]]></description>
